Noise has been measured in two types of coductor-insulator mixtures as a function of bias and composition. It was marked by a huge increase in magnitude as the resistance increased only slightly due to Joule heating. The noise (resistance)…
The influence of small random perturbations on a deterministic dynamical system with a locally stable equilibrium is considered. The perturbed system is described by the It\^{o} stochastic differential equation. It is assumed that the noise…
Disagreement percolation connects a Gibbs lattice gas and i.i.d. site percolation on the same lattice such that non-percolation implies uniqueness of the Gibbs measure. This work generalises disagreement percolation to the hard-sphere model…
The pomeron flux renormalization hypothesis is reviewed and presented as a scaling law in diffraction. Predictions for soft and hard diffraction based on pomeron flux scaling are compared with experimental results.
We determine the dimensional dependence of the percolative exponents of the jamming transition via numerical simulations in four and five spatial dimensions. These novel results complement literature ones, and establish jamming as a mixed…
The effect of small-amplitude noise on excitable systems with large time-scale separation is analyzed. It is found that small random perturbations of the fast excitatory variable result in the onset of a quasi-deterministic limit cycle…
We use SLE(6) paths to construct a process of continuum nonsimple loops in the plane and prove that this process coincides with the full continuum scaling limit of 2D critical site percolation on the triangular lattice -- that is, the…
Order parameter fluctuations (the largest cluster size distribution) are studied within a three-dimensional bond percolation model on small lattices. Cumulant ratios measuring the fluctuations exhibit distinct features near the percolation…
The highest current estimates for the amount of noise a quantum computer can tolerate are based on fault-tolerance schemes relying heavily on postselecting on no detected errors. However, there has been no proof that these schemes give even…
Theoretical models that describe oscillations in biological systems are often either a limit cycle oscillator, where the deterministic nonlinear dynamics gives sustained periodic oscillations, or a noise-induced oscillator, where a fixed…
We show that the laws of scaling limits of nearcritical percolation exploration paths with different parameters are singular with respect to each other. This generalises a result of Nolin and Werner, using a similar technique. As a…
Recently it has been demonstrated that the connectivity transition from microscopic connectivity to macroscopic connectedness, known as percolation, is generically announced by a cascade of microtransitions of the percolation order…
Theory of spin noise in low dimensional systems and bulk semiconductors is reviewed. Spin noise is usually detected by optical means, continuously measuring the rotation angle of the polarization plane of the probe beam passing through the…
The influence of outside quantum noises on the amplification of weak measurements is investigated. Three typical quantum noises are discussed. The maximum values of the pointer's shifts decrease sharply with the strength of the depolarizing…
We study the defocusing energy-critical nonlinear wave equation in four dimensions. Our main result proves the stability of the scattering mechanism under random pertubations of the initial data. The random pertubation is defined through a…
Diffusion models can be challenged in the low signal-to-noise regime, where they have to make pixel-level predictions despite the presence of high noise. The geometric intuition is akin to using the finest stroke for oil painting…
The phase description is a powerful tool for analyzing noisy limit cycle oscillators. The method, however, has found only limited applications so far, because the present theory is applicable only to the Gaussian noise while noise in the…
New measurements to test the neutrality of matter by acoustic means are reported. The apparatus is based on a spherical capacitor filled with gaseous SF$_6$ excited by an oscillating electric field. The apparatus has been calibrated…
Considering a "random walk in a random environment" in a topologically closed circuit, we explore the implications of the percolation and sliding transitions for its relaxation modes. A complementary question regarding the "delocalization"…
Consider the indicator function $f$ of a two-dimensional percolation crossing event. In this paper, the Fourier transform of $f$ is studied and sharp bounds are obtained for its lower tail in several situations. Various applications of…
